The problem is that you are doing a "double transclusion". That is, the
value of <<theCompany>> retrieved via transclusion isn't the actual name of
the company as text, but rather a secondary transclusion from a JSON
tiddler (i.e., {{$:/data/CI/companyRegister##1/name}}). When you render
<<theCompany>>, TiddlyWiki automatically parses that transclusion and
displays the actual value. However, when you use search<theCompany> in the
filter, the value isn't parsed any further, and you are literally searching
for the transclusion syntax, not the actual company name as text.
To resolve this, use <$wikify> instead of <$set> to fetch theCompany value,
like this:
<$wikify name="theCompany" text={{$:/data/CI/activeDossier}}>
!<$vars tv-wikilinks=no><<theCompany>></$vars> <!-- gets displayed properly
-->
<$list filter="[!is[system]search<theCompany>]" >
<<currentTiddler>>
</$list>
</$wikify>
The $wikify gets the value from the activeDossier tiddler AND then also
parses that value, so the result is the desired text value from the
underlying $:/data/CI/companyRegister tiddler.
When you use it in the search<theCompany> filter, it's already fully
resolved to be the actual company name as text, so the search should work
as you intend.
